Description

World soils contain about 1500 gigatons of organic carbon.

This large carbon reserve can increase atmospheric concentrations of CO2 by soil misuse or mismanagement, or it can reverse the 'greenhouse' effect by judicious land use and proper soil management.

Soil Processes and the Carbon Cycle describes soil processes and their effects on the global carbon cycle while relating soil properties to soil quality and potential and actual carbon reserves in the soil.

In addition, this book deals with modeling the carbon cycle in soil, and with methods of soil carbon determinations.
